European Roulette
or American Roulette

Ok lets get straight
down to business, the casinos edge in Roulette is basically the 0 or 00.

In
American Roulette there are 38 possible places for the ball
to stop and 2 zeros there is a 0 and a 00 (both green) this
decreases your odds and reduces the effectiveness of the
roulette system we describe one our roulette system page.
So as much as we love America when it comes to roulette
we have to go with the math and say you have better chances
of winning buy playing European Roulette.

In
European Roulette there is only one '0' so you have a almost
evens odds of red or black or odds or evens coming up. We
see almost evens as the actual odds are not quite 1-1 but
1.014-1 in the favor of the casino (because of that 0).
With these odds it is possible to make alot of money using
the roulette system as described on our Roulette
System page. Of course casinos always have a
maximum and a minimum bet this this is the casinos defence
against systems such as the one we have shown. For example
at the time of writing at Jackpot
City Casino the minimum bet on European Roulette
is $1 and the Maximum bet is $80 so lets see how the system
pans out

Here you can practice totally free european roulette at your own leisure. The site also offers lots of informaion on roulette strategies.

European Roulette Strategy Examples

Example
1

Bearing
in mind you have an almost 1 to 1 or as we often say 50:50
chance of a red or a black (same applies to odds or evens
and highs or lows) The table below shows what would happen
if the laws of 1 to 1 probabiltiy panned out.

Lets
just say you get a bit of bad luck and the house's edge
(thats the 0 for the purpose of this system) comes up. Below
we see what would happen using this system.

As
you can see above over 10 bets if you lose 7 in a row you
have some what of a problem we have shown 8 loses in a row
to emphasise our point. We know this looks bad but although
possible it is unlikely. This being said it can and does
happen we have seen Blacks appear up to 12 times in a row
before. It should be remembered that this does not spell
the end of the game, provided you have the nerve and a big
enough pot you can of course win it all back below we show
what could happen if this game was to be continued.

You
will notice we put in another losing streak of 9 losses
in a row! Even with that if you stick to the system as shown
you would come out with $101 at the end of 37 bets. You
will also notice that we used 37 bets and you won just under
half of them (18 to be exact) and the Casino won 19 of them
(its that 0 advantage of theirs again).

We
cannot and do not in any way guarantee that you will win
using the above system. We suggest you take full advantage
of the casinos play for free facility and try the system
out for yourself and only bet real money when you are happy
with it yourself.
